14. The Table Saw is designed for home use or light
commercial duty ONLY.
15. CONNECT Table Saw to a properly grounded outlet
only. See grounding instructions.
16. ALWAYS USE the guards whenever possible.
Check to see that they are in place, secured and
working correctly.
17. AVOID KICKBACK by:
• Keeping blade sharp and free of rust and pitch.
• Keeping rip fence parallel to saw blade.
• Using saw blade guard and splitter assembly for
every possible operation, including all through-
sawing.
• Pushing the workpiece past the saw blade prior to
release.
• Never rip a workpiece that is twisted or
warped, or does not have a straight edge to guide
along the fence.
• Using featherboards when the blade guard and
splitter assembly cannot be used.
• Never sawing a large workpiece that cannot be
controlled.
• Never using the fence as a guide when cross-
cutting.
• Never sawing a workpiece with loose knots or
other flaws.
18. REMOVE cut-off pieces and debris from the table
before starting the saw. The vibration of the saw
may cause them to move into the saw blade and be
thrown out. After cutting, turn the saw off. When
the blade has come to a complete stop, unplug the
saw and remove all debris.
19. NEVER START the saw with the workpiece against
the blade.
20. NEVER perform "free-hand" operations. Use either
the fence or miter gauge to position and guide the
workpiece. Hold the workpiece firmly against the
miter gauge or fence.
21. USE a push stick(s) for ripping a narrow workpiece.
22. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the blade.
23. KEEP arms, hands and fingers away from the
blade.
24. NEVER have any part of your body in line with the
path of the saw blade.
25. NEVER reach around or over the blade.
26. NEVER attempt to free a stalled blade without first
turning the machine "OFF" and unplugging it from
the power source.
27. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table/work area when the machine is running.
28. NEVER reset the thermal-overload button before
you have turned the table saw "OFF".
29. PROPERLY SUPPORT long or wide workpiece.
30. TURN THE SAW "OFF" and unplug from power
source. Clean off the table/work area before leav-
ing the saw. LOCK the START/STOP switch with
padlock provided to prevent unauthorized use.
31. ALWAYS position auxiliary fence at least 2-inches
in front of saw blade when using auxiliary fence as
a stop when cross-cutting.
32. The right extension wing MUST BE completely
assembled and motor cover closed and fastened
before table saw is to be connected to the power
source.
